Dear Hugo
Hamilton,
We are a
group of 28 motivated students, aged 17, who are in the European section of our
school: Chabrières High school, in the suburb of Lyon, France.
We are very
glad to take part in this new session of the ASSISES DU ROMAN, all the more so since our class had the
opportunity to spend a short week in Dublin just a month ago. That's why The Speckled People is very interesting
to us, since it reminds us of Ireland, and we thus feel closer to your book,
your story, your country!
Thank you
for giving us the opportunity to work with you. We hope we will be able to
exchange with you so as to go deeper into your novel!
For
starters, we have a few questions and we are looking forward to your answers!
Best
regards,
The
students from 1 ES/L, Chabrières
OUR QUESTIONS:
1) Why did
you decide to write this book through a child's vision? Was it like a form of
therapy for you? (Charlotte)
2) Was it
hard for you to reproduce a child’s vision? Were there specific guidelines or
strategic devices that you followed or imposed to yourself? (Zoé)
3) What
about the identity you chose in your book? If the story is based on your life,
why not an autobiography? (Alizée and Félix)
4) When did
you decide to write this autobiography? Had it always been something you wanted
to do? (Klara)
5) What
happens right after the end of the story? Where did you go? (Charlotte)
